Thanks for being so tough on antinatalism, hexbear.

You can’t even pay people to have more kids - lemm.ee

The comments section absurd. Just everything from ethnonationalism to personal grievance politics. Not an optimistic take to be seen.

- The total world population is still going up, as it has the entire time we've been able to reasonably track it. The only way you can see a number below this supposed replacement rate is by doing ethnonationalism.
Having kids is a choice people should have. If they don't want them, they don't have to have them. There should be options for handling that between sexual education, contraception, sterilization, abortion, adoption, etc.
Forcing people to either extreme of that is not acceptable. It just seems like common sense that people should be able to make those choices for themselves and their families. You don't have to like it.
That's all not even getting to the replacement theory bullshit
Forcing people to have kids is cringe.
Forcing people to not have kids is cringe.
Thinking people should have more kids is cringe.
Thinking people should have less kids is cringe.
